heavy workloads. Like all Samsung SSDs, it is designed and built
completely in-house at Samsung using the highest industry
standards and advanced Samsung memory technology. And, as with
other solid state drives, the 840 PRO has no moving parts, which
means no hard-drive spin-ups, no noise, and superior data
protection**.

safeguarding your data. Advanced AES 256-bit ATA full disk
encryption provides worry-free data security. And the 4th

drive (SSD)***. It also supports Device mode for Microsoft
